That article is so low on detail! There's basically just this statement:

> Study findings indicate under stress, the ISS isolated strains were mutated and became genetically and functionally distinct compared to their Earth counterparts. The strains were able to viably persist in the ISS over time with a significant abundance. E. bugandensis coexisted with multiple other microorganisms, and in some cases could have helped those organisms survive.

The bacteria changed (how, why, can we see?), they survived in space (plainly the original bacteria also survived long enough to evolve), and possibly adapted/coexisted with other (unnamed) microorganisms.

And then they were brought back to earth to be studied.... That too surely impacts the study of 'bacteria in space'.
I would think most people know about RT blocking because it was widely announced and discussed at the time, and not because they actually tried to access RT.

That's a nice sentiment and all, but in reality, value of life will always be convertible to dollars if you talk about it and anything else in the same sentence. You are putting a finite dollar value on your own life each time you get out of the bed, or cross the street.
Yes, this .. and anyway, isn't the astronauts interaction during critical flight phases completely superfluous to the mission? The screens are there to tell the occupants how close they are to death, it seems, and little else.

Heck, for a long time - decades, even - the principle 'interface' to the rocket systems being used to regularly launch humans to space was, literally, a stick.

Javascript seems like a huge upgrade from a stick. ;)

I'm curious what you mean by not looking "period". The HPLHS fonts frankly seem to just be poor quality, rather than old. If you look at the images of the original type, Doves appears to be quite faithful to the original. Perhaps it's worth noting that we still use typefaces remarkably similar to the Romans, particularly Times New Roman, which despite its many shortcomings retains a "modern" look by virtue of still being in use.
Several of these involve housing. IMO it makes sense to regulate safety in the housing market because the housing market is broken - I would not be surprised if at least in some cities, complete knowledge of the consequences of asbestos in the walls wasn't a deterrent even if the renter was fully rational. With those that don't, I think full information and personal responsibility is still the best approach. Do you want the cancer creme or the non-cancer creme?

That said, I think we would get most of the benefit of regulation if we just required an advisory consultation with your GP before you could buy a product whose safety wasn't established. A lot of the danger of overregulation rests on trivial inconvenience vs outlawing experimentation, and I think something like that could split both groups. "Yes, I want to enable experimental mode on my body."
That's the thing, that's not a common denominator if you really know what each group stands for and promotes. There are christians in Gaza under Hamas. There are different Muslim denominations in Gaza under Hamas. The other groups you are mentioning wouldn't allow this, they kill other Muslims for being different, and they attack christians. There is a huge contrast. What you call a common denominator is false. There are many "unbelievers" living fine in Gaza and in Palestine in general (ignoring that they are also being victims of Israeli attacks)
I'm guessing you'd probably break the declarativeness if you exposed the full power of LISP, but limited subsets in YAML work pretty well.

I especially like how well suited it is to visual block based editing.

Blockly and Node Red let you put stuff anywhere in 2D space, a satisfying auto formatter isn't really possible, and traditional flow charts can easily get big and messy.

But if you look at DRAKON, their charts pretty much always look nice. And looking at ladder logic, It's almost but not quite a set of 1D flow charts.

If you strip it down more, events that trigger a list of commands until a command returns False is a really simple model without much learning time, and it's very easy to create a visual editor

Giving people the full power of LISP would probably result in people writing imperative programs rather than building up an ecosystem of declarative plugins though.

And it seems that the consensus is it doesn't become a LISP just because you can implement it in nested lists....

I haven't grok'ed things properly yet, its a hefty read for my Monday morning, but the thing that leaps into my mind is to ask you why Javascript, of all things, and not something like Lua?

Isn't Javascript just too finicky for something like this? Are other languages/approaches to integration with the execution environment possible/feasible?

> There were quite a few statements by key people in the current Israeli government that demonstrate clear intent for genocide.

There were a few statements, mostly made very early in the war, most of them ambiguous. These are horrible, but fairly similar to most war-time propaganda in most countries.

They're also dwarfed by the many, many statements almost all of them made that quite explicitly clarified that that isn't what they want, and that the only goal is to remove Hamas while trying to minimize harm to civilians.

Btw, this is less true of ethnic cleansing - there is a minority, but influential, part of the government that is, at the very least, hinting strongly at ethnic cleansing. I find it despicable and am convinced the majority of Israelis would never go along with this, but those statements by those (despicable) "leaders" are recent.

> As to why they don't massacre every living Palestinian in Gaza if they really want to do so - Israel still depends significantly on external support, most notably from US, but also from European countries. Thus even if intending to commit genocide, they have to do so in a plausibly deniable way.

This is an unfalsifiable statement. People have been claiming for most of my life that Israel is either committing genocide, or wants to, and is only held back by foreign powers. A genocide hasn't occurred so far, and I believe very strongly that Israel will never do so. But you can always say "oh well, they just can't because other people are keeping them in check". OK - so what kind of evidence would convince you that that's not true?
Of all the strains of bacteria that we might give an opportunity to optimize for space survival, why would we pick something that is a threat to humans.

Space travel involves humans in an inescapable environment, without access to many medical therapies, and with potentially compromises immune systems! [0]

Want to come home, but have 90% of their journey ahead. Fearing their novel infection, NASA tells them "Don't come back!", sends them erroneous course corrections. Bacteria researchers from 2024 experiment, jubilant at this dramatic evidence of their success, request more funding and astronauts."

I find especially funny how Wayland attempted to have "tear free done right"... and the expected display path (GPU accelerated) turned out to either involve 1 or more frame delay, or tearing because Wayland protocol didn't support explicit sync on render finish.
>Regardless of the number affected (which is not insignificant), it completely prevents them from using a product which they purchased, and that's simply not acceptable.

I'd agree with refunds on a core level, yes.

I think my main issue here is that people who very much can access PSN are the ones making the most fuss. So it feels like a deflection rather than a core inability to play from players.

Also, the fact that this isn't the first time these regions had to deal with PSN. I bet some of them simply made accounts on a nearby, supported country. I'd bet the number of accounts being banned for such situations is multiple magnitudes less than the review bomb.

I have moved to Traefik from NGINX aswell because of the built-in support for DNS challenge and wildcard cert. I myself spent many hours trying to get it working for my domain I use at work. I used the same config I use at home (which works perfectly) but could never get it to actually do anything, even though the setup was identical. Same domain registrar with same API based on the same docker configs etc. Had all logs enabled and still I get no information what so ever about why my certificate could not be created. It simply defaulted back to its generated cert without trying it seemed. After two troubleshooting sessions and several hours of searching and troubleshooting I had to admit defeat and just use my own self-signed cert files. Very frustrating when you get no information about why it doesn't work. Just a silent failure and fallback.

Overall that has been my biggest problem with traefik. Its awesome when it works, but when it does not I always seem to have problems troubleshooting and/or finding the information I need in the docs.

At work we will start using Traefik in prod towards the end of the year. I hope Traefik and I will become better friends before that :)
Thanks, I've joined.

Staggering bollards and fake bollards could be an effective cost-saving measure, if for some reason the city finds bollards too expensive to put everywhere. If the drivers know that 10-20% of the bollards are the real deal, they'd steer clear of all of them.

> If you have an idea for a project you want to work on: please go and do it! I don't care if there are already dozens of alternatives. Go forth and create. Maybe you'll make the new best version of the thing, maybe you won't. But you definitely won't if you don't try. And even if your version is no good, if you cultivate a habit of making things you want to make then you'll have the best chances, and at least in the end you'll have lived a life of creation rather than idle consumption.

I agree. Furthermore: It might have some advantages compared with other programs even if it does not have all of the features or other advantages that the other one might have. Also, even if it is no good you or others might improve it later, anyways. There may also be reasons why one user or programmer might prefer to use one program than another, or even someone might use both if they really want to do.
You're right it's more than 6. The 190 figure probably comes from the number of "countries" that were restricted from purchasing the game after (and only after) the PSN account linking was announced. Steam defines a lot of territories and unrecognized regions as "countries". Supported PSN countries are listed here https://www.playstation.com/country-selector/index.html

E: Actually some of the countries in the selector aren't supported for PSN either (at least PH), so I'm no longer sure if there is an offical list of supported PSN countries anywhere.

Some people sees TV as a more serious or reliable source of information than internet, so I think it's fair to avoid having the official propaganda of an hostile country there.

Of course there is always a risk of censorship of real information. As citizens we must be vigilant to what is banned. And our reaction as citizens should absolutely be different depending of wether the ban targets RT or Le Monde (for example).
Not at home, but at professional printing houses absolutely.

This isn't hypothetical, I've done it -- in grad school we would send out (I believe) 30000 dpi print jobs on transparent polyester film, and then adhere those to glass blanks to create cheap masks for MEMS fabrication. We had an old Canon i-line lithographic aligner that accepted the glass blanks.

I think the print jobs cost us about $100 each.

Here's the first Google result for a vendor (I don't remember who we used). There's a price list on their page and it looks like they have capability up to 50,800 dpi.

Hanford is also the nations largest superfund cleanup site. https://spectrum.ieee.org/hanford-nuclear-site

"At the Hanford Site in south-central Washington state, 177 giant tanks sit below the sandy soil, brimming with the radioactive remnants of 44 years of nuclear-materials production. From World War II through the Cold War, Hanford churned out plutonium for more than 60,000 nuclear weapons. The sprawling enterprise eventually contaminated the soil and groundwater and left behind 212 million liters of toxic waste—enough to fill 85 Olympic-size swimming pools. Decades after the site stopped producing plutonium, the U.S. government is still grappling with how to clean it all up. "

I have 1155 desktop PC with Pentium G2020 ... even if I buy something like 1270v2 ...
it would still be a more than a decade old system and it wouldn't improve the
performance much.

That depends. For the small 3 node cluster of HP Microservers (Gen 8) in my home lab, they had cpus of the Pentium G2020 class. Upgrading those to the Xeon E3-1265L v2 (also 4c/8t) made a huge difference.

The G2020 has 3MB of cache, whereas the E3 above has 8MB and clocks higher.

Then again, the workload on these little boxes is mostly running VMs for build jobs. More cores is definitely better than less cores for that. :)
It's very important to regulate what people do in their free time, otherwise they might just pick and choose to do whatever they want.

Where would it end? Far better to have centrally-approved free time activities to ensure those limited people don't get to just enjoy themselves but are instead spending their limited free time wisely.
I have never seen anyone write "Prince's Hwy" (or "King's Hwy" for that matter), the apostrophe-free version would be far more common.

The "Princess Hwy" thing is also common I think because the pronunciation most often used sounds a lot like "Princess", particularly when it's run right into "Highway" without a gap.

> And yes, I know PSN supports less countries than Steam, but how many people on the internet really reside in one of those non-supported areas?

Countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Åland islands (a part of Finland) are excluded from PSN for some technicality.

As is the whole country of Philippines. (110 million people).

I'm kinda suspecting this is some weird Sony thing where they want to have a legal entity in each country with PSN and don't want the hassle - or more stupidly don't want to offer service if it's not translated to the native language.

Just generate a web page on the backend.

Sprinkle it a bit with some simple JavaScript/jQuery code for animations, forms checking etc, if you want. That's it. That's how it was supposed to work and that's how it works best. JavaScript was made to make the monkey dance. The end result, either made with overcomplicates frameworks like React/Angular or with simply generating the web page on the backend, is irrelevant to the user.
Don't take the break if you don't want to. If you think of the break will make you more productive take the break. Sometimes pomodoro tells me to take a break and I tell pomodoro to STFU. Then I finish the freaking work! Remember this is a technique to make you more productive, not hold you back!

Sales tends to drop when games reviews becomes "mostly negatives".

But I believe with only this it would have taken more time, I suspect steam starting to approve refund even post 2h was what forced Sony to react.

But at the same time with no complains I doubt Steam would have cared.

Ultimately these all boil down to coordination problems. The touted solution is to encourage transparency, rationality and cooperation. But bottom-up never gets successful momentum, people don't agree on objectives; top-down always results in tyranny, abuses of power and fails anyway. Vested interests and bad actors always subvert promising initiatives.
Money isn't the motivator I worry about. Money requires people to make rational decisions about what they think they can get away with.

The popular reason is likely because 文 is used across East Asia in Chinese and Japanese (Korean and Vietnamese too, though written differently)[0], with the ideograph standing in as a sufficiently different contrast to the Latin alphabet, and as a reference to a major non-latin-alphabet based user market, while being simple enough to render (compared to something more "difficult"[1] like 语/語)

The core problem is that if you implement rent control, without a bunch of other policies, all you achieve is to remove potential rental apartments from the market. Either they'll never get built or rental apartments will be sold off and removed from the rental pool once rents drop below a certain relative level compared to the potential sales price for the same apartment (or apartment building).

Rent control is fine, if the government at same time steps up and implements policies to make sure that rentable apartments at the rent controlled price are actually available on the market. Rent control makes no difference to me if the end result is that it is completely impossible for me to rent an apartment at any price.

I've lived in places with and without strict rent control, and the biggest difference was that in the place without rent control I could easily find several places to rent in the parts of the city I wanted to live in.
